The ego is the cause of dysfunction on this planet.
The ego allwys has to be right therfore there has to be an enemy to make it right.
It will kill in order to assert its point of view.
If it seems impossible to love unconditionally at least a start can be made by not hating all -- loving one self for a start, then family.
Dogs show unconditional love, very quick to forgive.
Yes it is sensible to take all steps one can to look after one self and famly but it is not necessary to see the other as an enemy in so doing.
Things change.
Many fought Germany in two world wars now we are friends, so many died needlessly because of an egoic desire for a master race.
The war was probably the only option at the time but we have evolved since then.
There are other ways.
For me the only answer is the spiritual one.
The problems we face cannot be resolved at the egoic level that it was created -- we must move above that to "survive"
With respect for all points of view.
Thanks for the many helpful posts and videos here

Wars are manufactured by the rulers of the planet. War or the dergradation of man should never be an option. The German one you speak of has evidence of it in many texts and visuals. It wasnt an ego that produced that war, but an agenda of a few ruling class. It is unconsionable.
The ego says "I can do it". The ego makes us able to function on our own, not just as a collective but as an individual as well. We are one, but able to function at tasks when isolated from others. Thats survival and not something that will be put asside ever in my opinion. To do so would be to seal all of humanities fate. We are not a hive yet. There is movement in that direction but to loose all semblance of self is to be like the borg on star trek tng. Too frightening.
It is not that I and so many others do not want to live without the horrors and heartbreaks of what is put upon us by those without a soul. It is the goal of most of mankind for peace.
Survival says you must not love the one that would harm you or your family. I am speaking here of an immediate threat such as a a violent intruder breaking into your home, not the manufactured fear mongering and flag waving of the ruling class that motivate with fear in order to stir peasants into fighting their wars
A dog will protect its pack from a hostile intruder or danger with its own life, but is still able to love unconditionally. We must posess the common sense a dog does in order to continue, to survive, to live.
